About This Feature
Overview
Create New PDF is a creation entry in WPS PDF for starting a new PDF file directly in WPS Office on Windows. It supports three common creation methods: creating a blank PDF, creating a PDF from images, and creating a PDF from Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files.
Core tasks include:
- Create a blank PDF for contracts, notes, forms, or other documents that need to start from an empty page.
- Create a PDF from images for receipts, scanned materials, photos, or other image-based records.
- Create a PDF from Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files for sharing finalized content in PDF format and continuing work in WPS PDF.
This feature is useful for document archiving, image-based record collection, and final-format sharing.
